Students enrolled in Nutrition, Health, and Fitness during fall quarter had a wonderful time making trail mix and delivering it to Camp Unity Eastside, a transitional mobile encampment and self-managed outside community.
On a trip to Fred Meyers, students gathered ingredients for the trail mix and spent time in class putting it together. They learned about each ingredient’s nutritional value and benefits for the body, and assembled the mix into individual containers. As a group they met at Camp Unity Eastside to deliver the mix and get a tour of the facility where they learned about food storage and safety as part of the larger issue of homelessness.
This activity is a great way for students to use the information they learn in their course to give back to their community.
Nutrition, Health, and Fitness is one of the many courses OLS Students can take to obtain their associate degree from OLS. More information about our curriculum is available on our website. To learn more about our program register for an Information Session.
